Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2021258123A1] The invention relates to a method for coupling plug connectors (2, 3) in order to form a plug assembly (1), and to a plug assembly (1) designed for this purpose. A first and a second plug connector (2, 3), a sealing element (4), and a locking element (5) are provided. The locking element (5) is arranged in coupling slots (9, 10) of the first plug connector (2) such that the center between the two limbs (17, 18) of the locking element (5) base limb (19) is arranged at a first radial distance (24) to a first longitudinal axis (8) in a first position. When the second plug connector (3) is inserted into the first plug connector (2), limb connecting portions (22-1, 22-2) are first supported against a plug-in adapter (13), and then second limb portions (21-1, 21-2) are supported against an expanding portion (14). The base limb (19) is arranged at a greater second radial distance (25) to the longitudinal axis (8, 12) in a second position.
